piston rings
Posted: Sat Oct 17, 2020 3:45 pm
Hi everyone.
I have a set of piston rings for a Z1000 A1, 1977.
the top ring does not have a "N" stamped on it to indicate top side.
is this ring a universal fit as both sides of the piston ring are the same
the second ring does have a "N" stamped on it, but this is on the same side as the groove which according to the service manual should be on the under side when installed. this means the "N" is not on the top side of the piston ring.
could this just be a case of faulty stamping by the manufacturer.
any advise on this would be help full.
thanks Dave.
